I interpreted this as “What we’ve done is taken the same vehicle we’ve been build and made marginal improvements to its previous counterpart. We’ve still got the same flat bottom hull that is 100% battle proven to not withstand an IED blast of almost any size. Next, we’ve taken the Haji armor military personnel add in theater, and added it ourselves from factory. We can guarantee that it is 100% the same Pakistani made steel that will stop almost nothing. The best part of all though is we’ve added ABS as well as this push bar and painted it grey.”

They built exactly what the CUSTOMER ordered. So I don't understand why there's so much hate in comment section here? I was in the Marines for 5 years. The HMMWV was designed to replace the old jeeps as a utility vehicle. It was never meant to be an armored fighting vehicle. But we slapped some armor and weapon systems on them and got the job done until something better came along, which it did. The MRAP and JLTV. Those are the new armored fighting vehicles. The US military will still keep the HMMWV in service until 2050 as a utility vehicle, which is what it was originally designed for to begin with!

The WWII Jeep wasn't mean't to be in direct combat either, but it was used for raids in the North African desert by the LRDG and also saw various machine guns and recoilless rifles mounted on it. Chances are that if something has wheels, someone will mount a weapon on it and use it in combat. Consider the used Ford pickup from Texas that ended up being bought by ISIS and used in the Middle East.

I would love this model for pulling a boat trailer on a fishing trip. Perfect weekend truck when the risk of IED’s are minimal, the design of the vehicle is pretty iconic been around for a long time. For military use I think it’s seen it’s hay days when it comes to IED’s etc

I was on an exercise in southern italy with NATO forces, including 82nd airborne. We we in a convoy driving through a town, and my commander told me to turn into a side street. We were in landrovers, so we had no problem driving through the traffic. The Americans following us couldn't even turn into the street due to the width of their humvees. So they had to take another route and meet us later.

Remember guys! Humvee in the first place is not a Mine Resistance Armored Vehicle.. It was intended as Utility vehicle

I am sometimes confused by AMG. They had a good platform for the 70’s 80’s. Coming into the new millennium, we have Econo cars throwing 200hp. The uparmored hmmwv with the upgraded engine is doin 180hp with 6.5 turbo liters. We have normal people putting duramax engines with 500+ hp all over and they come out with a heavier looking hmmwv with only 280hp. Did I miss something or are they not putting power in these things on purpose?

This vehicle wouldve been awesome in Jurassic Park

There probably isn't one to show on the model.

you'd think they would slope the window atleast a littlebit, and also try to make it bit higher so they could make a v shape bottom to protect against IED's but nah, okay so its just a HMMW thats repainted and added a couple new plates of armor on the sides, and what maybe a new engine?

IED protection is so old now. This Hummer 1.5 has LED protection. Oh and a mighty 620Nm torque. Yeah it sounds so much more than 457Lb-ft. Is this a 4 cylinder? Flat surfaces and no cargo room inside. But it can actually carry up to 4 troops inside. Whooo hooo.

The improvements to an already good design are noteworthy particularly for 2nd and 3rd world nations especially with all the variants available. The Humvee was not designed as an armored car to go into battle, although it is better at handling heavy weapons mounted. And it is probly a lot cheaper for cash strapped nations than a more purpose built tactical vehicle for militaries not patrolling Afghan or Iraqi cities. Many nations need a good not super expensive multi purpose vehicle.

Sooo let me get this straight ..... you increased the approach and departure angles with those big ass bumpers, which take away from approach and departure angles???????? O.o

those are some crazy numbers. 250 HP, but 620 Nm torque to move a vehicle weighing 15,000 lbs

Just call it the Humvee H2. Worked for GM­.

The humvee makes sense in affordability and I think I heard that a lot of the existing humvee parts will be able to be used. The humvee is iconic. It’s America 🇺🇸 through n through. Recognised everywhere. But I also think that next to some of the alternative vehicles popping up around the world, the Humvee will no longer look the badass in comparison. Sounds daft to some. But looking intimidating could make the difference between the enemy fleeing or engaging.
